Fish low, slow in area rivers

The spring walleye run at Fremont and the Maumee River soon will be on!

Not just yet maybe, thanks to a cold spring that is slowing the rise of water temperatures to the usual 40- to 50-degree mark. But by late March some should be in the river and be caught, and more will arrive daily into mid or late April, many of them big females that might reach 10 pounds. It's a golden time for anglers with no big Lake Erie boats to get within casting distance of good-eating fish, and maybe even catch their limit. Unfortunately, river fishing isn't easy.
